Pope Benedict, during his general audience, spoke of the necessity of theologians maintaining a  sense of humility by using Tertullian as an example:

“…, this man who made such a great contribution to Christian thought. It is clear that in the end he lacked the simplicity and humility to be part of the Church, to accept her weaknesses. When one sees only one’s own ideas, in all their greatness, in the end it is precisely this greatness that is lost. The essential characteristic of great theologians is the humility to remain with the Church, to accept her weaknesses and their own, because only God is truly holy. We, on the other hand, always have need of forgiveness.”

Words of wisdom for all of us to live by, being either towards the Church or each other - the foundation of true freedom.
